When my grandfather passes away I received his complete set of model railroader magazines from 1936 to 1964. They are a great source of material as many of the earlier issues were full of scratch built projects. They are also interesting to read from a historical view. Issues through the war years urge people to buy war bonds to stop the "axis" threat. After the atomic bomb was dropped and brought in the nuclear age I think every hobby shop in the country had "atomic" in its name. I often wonder what the magazines are worth, though I will probably never sell them. However if anyone is looking for a certain article from those years I may be able to provide some information Steve
